PRESS RELEASE
The Township of Washington Police Department would like to inform the residents that today December 27, 2023 at approximately 6:00 PM Patrol was dispatched to residence on the west side of town for an Attempted Burglary call. It appears two actors were going to possibly attempt entry into a home, which was monitored by the homeowners camera system. Patrol responded, canvassed the entire area with negative results. Below are the pictured actors:
We want to remind residents that historically home burglaries occur more often during the winter months/holiday season, especially due to the fact there are fewer daylight hours. This gives burglars more time to be concealed by darkness. Burglars are opportunists, eliminate opportunities for them by locking all doors/windows/gates. Also, secure your vehicles as burglars will attempt to gain entry, and steal them if they can. Please make sure if you are not home you have lights on timers, deliveries stopped or redirected to elsewhere. The idea is to make it look like someone is home. We like to keep our residents informed so we stay diligent. Any questions/concerns or information on this manner, please contact our Police Desk at 201-664-1140.
